Nonverbal Communication Defined (Na)

Introduction Non-verbal communication as defined by Nonverbal Communication Defined (na), is “communication without words.” This type of communication is everything you do with your body. This means your facial expressions, body language, tone, and even touching. Non- verbal communication can be more effective than what you are saying. It can also be deceiving as you may be saying one thing, but your body may be saying something entirely different. A passage taken from Nonverbal Communication Defined (na), stating that, “Even Silence Speaks,” best outlines that regardless if we are speaking, we are constantly communicating.
When I am angry, I…. When I am angry, I tend to raise my voice. This is only in times of true anger. I am always in control of my actions when I am angry.

When I am sad, I am known for isolating myself. If there is a situation that has caused me to become upset I isolate myself from people. This is for my own sake. I do not want to say something I do not mean when I am sad so I prevent this by isolating myself. The second thing that I do when I am sad is avoiding eye contact with people. It does not matter who it is. It could be the person I am in the situation with, or a stranger walking down the street. I do not think I want them to see me sad. When I am disgusted, I…. When I am disgusted, I make very distinct facial expressions that show the person I am displeased with their actions or the environment around me. It does not take someone to realize that I am disgusted by something. The second thing that I may do when I am disgusted is shake my head. If there is something I truly cannot stand I will shake my head in disproval. When I am frightened, I…. When I am frightened, I jump. I jump in the air as if that is the only thing in the world that will help me. The second thing I do that could potentially hurt someone is, I clench my fists and get ready to strike whatever has frightened me. There was on time where my father scared me and I actually punched him in the face. When I am nervous or unsure, I…. When I am nervous or unsure, I have a tendency to perspire. This can be seen on my forehead and prominently on my hands. This has always been something that happens when I am nervous, especially before tests and big events. The second thing that happens when I am nervous is I fidget. I play with my hands and pick my finger nails. I am also a chronic nail biter and this is something that happens quite excessively when I become nervous. When I am confident, I…. When I am confident, I change the way I posture myself. I bring my chest up, pull my shoulders back and keep my head up. I do this in situations such as; giving a speech, talking to an authority figure and during an interview.
